The county commissioners heard county assessor Dork Walker discuss difficulties obtaining proper inventories from some businesses. A revision of beer licenses was approved replacing a flat $50 rate with three classes: Class A for on or off premise consumption at $50, Class B at $73, and Class C at $400 for taverns.
